2. "He could see them gather on the back of his hands, like cold wet fur." Hyperhole, an exaggeration this is so dramatic that no one would believe the statement is true.
3. "The breathless glee that overwhelmed him." Idiom-words, phrases, and expressions that cannot be taken literally.
4. "She called and fell to the ground grinning. Blam." Onomatopeia, uses words to describe, imitate a natural sound or by an object or an action.

One example of generosity is when Jonas took Gabe with him when he left the community. Another example of generosity is when Jonas left the community so everybody can have the same memories as he has. Another example of generosity is when the Giver shared the good memories with Jonas.
